The mother of a newborn girl found last week abandoned and covered in ants in Texas is facing a lengthy prison term if she’s convicted.
Police said that Sidney Woytasczyk, 21, can get as many as 20 years in prison on felony child endangerment, KHOU reported. She admitted to being the mother of the infant, but she claimed that she didn’t know she was pregnant until she gave birth at home.
But after an investigation, police said they believe that she knew she was pregnant but was trying to hide it.
The baby was found by a bystander who heard cries outside an apartment complex in Harris County.
